McKenney’s replaced cooling towers that were obstructing a view of the downtown Atlanta
skyline from the Overlook III office building.
The ChallengeWorking with the owner, the team was tasked with determining the optimal place-ment for the new cooling towers. Options were few and the best location—a top floor corner of an elevated parking deck—would
require underground piping on a steep grade and custom fabricated steel supports for the towers.
The SoluTionTo ensure a seamless and safe replacement, CAD modeling and prefabrication of all the piping and tower supports was done ahead of installation. Along with placing the new towers, the team ran 14-inch piping down five floors of the parking deck and then underground for
200 feet on a steep hill. During the entire construction process the building remained open and the tower changeover was done during a weekend shutdown.
The ReSulTSWith no disruption to building operations, owners have a more efficient HVAC system and tenants can now enjoy a clear view of the Atlanta skyline.
